INrnootforION—The series of lessons
which we have followed in the Old
Testament have given us glimpses of
some good homes of the ancient people
of God. It has always been a peculiar
pleasure to turn from stories of war
•and conquest, of cruelty and violence,
of covetousness and greed, to pictures
'of the simple homely virtues, of faith,
and courage, and family affection, and
unselfish 1pve.. The best that was
found in Hebrew homes was, very good
indeed. Of Abraham it was Saidthat
he was known of the Lord, "to the end
that he might command his children
and his household after him, that they
'might keep the way of the Lord, to do
justice and judgment." In many a
home the Deuterbnomic law must have
been known and honored and its pre-
cepts taught to the children and talked
of day by day (Deut. 6: 4-9). There
were good women who made their
homes places of widespread influence
and power: Deborah, the prophetess,
"a mother in Israel"; Hannah the
mother of Samuel; Naomi and Ruth;
Abigail a woman of good understand-
ing and of a beautiful countenance
whose tactful wisdom saved a foolish
husband and prevented bloodshed, and
the great woman of Shunem, whose
home provided "a little chamber on the
wall" for the prophet of God when he
passed that way (1 Sam. chap 25; 2
Kings chap 4). Nor can one forget
the home in which children are regard-
ed as an "heritage of the Lord," or
the virtuous woman of Proverbs 31
-whose children rise up and call her
blessed and "the heart of her hus-
band trusted] in her."
I. THE JEWISH HOME, Luke 1: 5-23.
It was "in the days of Herod," who
has been called Herod the Great, who
reigned 37-4 B C., that Zacharias min-
istered in the temple in "the priests
office in the order of his course."
'Twenty-four such courses are named
in 1 Chron, chap. 24, of which the
course of Abijah was the eighth. Each
course, or company, of priests served
in turn for MO week, dividing the
priestly tasks. between the individual
members by lot. To Zacharias at this
time had fallen the duty of burning
the incense upon the golden altar, and
it was there by the altar, the fragrant
smoke of which symbolized the prayers
of the people, that the good priest be-
held the vision arid received the prom-
iseof that for which he had long
prayed, vs. 8-13.
II. THE CHILD IN THE HOME, 1: 57-66.
Li this home the birth of a child was
an occasion for rejoicing. "The Lord
had magnified his mercy towards" the
happy parents, and their neighbors
and kinsfolk rejoiced with them. They
.did not forget the sacred offices of
;their religion, but dedicated their child
ito God according to the ancient cus-
itom, Gen. 17: 12; Lev, 12; 3. So do
we in our day in the sacrament of
baptism.
In a good Jewish home, such as that
into which John was born, the child
. was tenderly cared for and instructed
in the traditions, the history, and the
; religious faith of his people. He was
taught to honor father and mother, to
do good works, to seek peace and good
will, and to study the Law. The last
was regarded as highest and most im-
portant of all. The words of Deut. ti:
4-9 and 11: 13-21. written on a folded
parchment and attached to the door
post would early become familiar to
him. The services of the synagogue,
the quiet and rest of the Sabbath day,
the festivals and other holy days,
would all be full. : interest and in-
struction. It was a rich and whole-
some life into which the Jewish child
grew. The home teaching and ex-
ample was supplemented by the school,
when, an ancient Jewish writer tells
us, it was the teacher's high privilege
and honor to impart to the children
"the precious knowledge of the Law,
with constant adaptation to their es-
paciy, with unwearied patience, in-
tense earnestness, strictness tempered
by kindness, but above all with the
highest • object ' of their training in
view," that is clean living, in gentle-
ness, the love of virtue, truthfulness,
industry, and self-control.

III, TJ P1oPF4Er OF THE MOST RI011,
Luke 1: 67-80,
' The pious, well -ordered Jewish hoine
was a good training school for the pro-
phet. It was John's high calling and
office to prepare the way for Jesus.
Last of the prophets of the Old Testa-
ment, the old covenant, it was his to
"go before thc face of the Lord to
make ready his ways," In the failing
light of the Old he foresaw and an-
nounced the dawning of the New, clay
of salvation for Israel and for the
World. It was a difficult and strenu-
ous task that was given him, to preach
repentance, the turning from the evil
to the good, preparing the way for
Christ's proclamation of the kingdom
of God, and it was needful that he
should become "strong in spirit" for
its performance.

It Li no longer necessary for the

New York—Televisiou is gaining
considerable interest in England, and
it is likely that several London:thea-
tres will install equipment this winter
for the entertainment of patrons, ac-
cording to information received by the
U.S. Department of'Commerce recent-
ly.
Negotiations are under way with a
prominent British television company
for the installation of a stage receiv-
ing set which will permit the theatre
audience to witness entertainment
broadcast from a petit several:1*es
from the stage.
Great effort is being made to ex-
ploit television in England. Programs
are now being transmitted onregular
schedule for reception by amateurs,
and it is reported there are several
thousand listeners in the vicinity. of
London equipped with the apparatus.
The theatre aspect is regarded as
new although the British television
company interested M. the project
has been attempting to protnote the
idea for several years. Applications
for apparatus in theatres are said to
be approximately twenty. It is re -

Thirty per cent, of the hotels in
the U.S. have radio installations, a
survey shows, according to The As-

estimate means that 7,500 of thein
have fitted up their guest rooms eith-

Doctor Says Sugar
Is Perfect Food
By Marie Ann Best
ARTICLE 8
"How about chocolates?" exclaims
the lover of sweet meats. "1 simply
can't do without them altogether."
Let me tell you something about
them, and not all bad news either.
Chocolates are filled with good food
but that's the trouble if one. would
reduce. • There are altogether too
many calories in a chocolate. For
instance one tantalizing, delicious
chocolate cream which looks so in-
nocent in its soft smooth finish and
which disappears so meltingly and
quickly, counts a total of 100 calories.
Chocolates would not look so good
to the type of person whose surplus
food intake turns to fat if -she knew
that just two chocolates a day for a
year, over and above the amount of
food it takes to keep ypur body nor-
mal, would make one 18 pounds over-
weight at the end of the year. It is
appalling isn't it? So if you have
formed the habit of "The magazine
and a box of chocolates," just figure
it out. Each chocolate adds another
little lump of fat where it is not
wanted. When one thinks of it as a
lump of fat, it isn't so tempting.
But they are good and one just can-
not give them up without a few
qualms of remorse. So to those who
are reducing and are rigidly keeping
to 1200 calories each day a good.way
might be to eat 1. or 2 for dessert,
then mount it in your book. Which
would you consider tlie better menu
for lunch, both menus consisting of
the same number of calories?

, So often we ..receive this advice
while reducing. "Do not eat any
sugar or starches." But if one is
supposed to have a balanced diet how
is it possible to leave out sugar. It
is sugar that burns up the fats. If fat
to be burned in the body which is
necessary for proper assimilation,
there must be a sufficient quantity
of sugar -fuel to burn it; so it is com-
forting to know that we must have
some of all the important foods, only
it is necessary to count our calories
and use our judgment about the divis-
ion for proper balance.
One of our eminent food doctors
paid this tribute to sugar: "Common
sugar is almost an ideal food, cheap,
clean, ,white, portable, imperishable,
unadulterated, pleasant tasting, germ
free, highly nutritious, completely sol-
uble, altogether digestible, easily as-
similated, requires no cooking and
leaves no residue." Then he adds,
with physiological wisdom, "it's only
fault is its perfection. It is so pure
that man cannot live on it,"
The continuous use of sugar in
America is steadily growing. It is
interesting to note that a century ago
people f this country consumed
enough sugar to give each person
about 8 pounds in one year. Now the
amotpit, of sugar consumed in one
week averages 3 pounds for each per-
son. Just think of that. Since sugar
is so very high in calories what is tho
logical thing that will happen? We
become too fat. One hundred years
ago Canadians per person used
around 44 calories of sugar a day in
various forms. Now they, use 547
'Calories per day. It conies in our
candy, soft drinks, ice ,cream, the
bake shop, condensed milk and so
finds its way into our stomachs.
Sugar is -se, refined that it contains
no vitamins. This applies to many of
our foods. Rice has most of its
health -giving vitamins polished off,

Women should form clubs to un-
dertake to secure this real whole
wheat flour and divide it up among
the members It must be ground at
the mill and used immediately. We
should adopt some of the methods of
earlier years and get close to nature,
accepting foods as she prepared them
for her children.
We are liable to eat' foods with too
many calories and because wo do not
need so many calories but more vita-
mins and minerals we store up layer
upon layer of fat. This makes it
quite plain what we must do.
We wish to make it clear, however,
that the advice here given applies to
people who are overweight but are
otherwise healthy and desire to re-
duce.

cooking quantities in talories:
1 cup sugar 840

Can Rattlers Sting
Through Leather Shoes?
Such snakes as the bushmaster, rat-
tlesnake and Gaboon riper have long,
powerful fangs and are able, under
favorable circumstances, to bite
through ordinary soft leather and rub-
ber the thickness generally used in.
making shoes, boots and leggiugs. No
species of snake, however, is able to
bite through thick leather, such as is
used in heavy leggings or puttees, and
ordinary boots and leggings are a
great protection against most snakes.
The thin tops of some knee-high leath-
er shoes is not absolutely safe against
poisonous snakes when the leather has
become soft from repeated use. Hunt-
ers in the Southern. States find that
leather leggings afford sufficient pro-
tection against the bites of poisonous
snakes in that region; and a specially
constructed rubber boot, with a shank
including several layers of canvas,
used by quail hunters in Florida, is a
perfect. protection for the partsit
covers.

Wins First Prize
For Layer Cake!
Mrs. W. McKenzie, 9 Fernwood Ave.,
Ave., Toronto, was awarded the first
prize for layer cake at the Canadian
National Exhibition, Toronto. As
there were a large number of entries
of cakes of various kinds we believe
our women readers will be interested
in securing Mrs. McKenzie's recipe,
which follows:
Golden Layer Cake
yq cup butter, 1 cup sugar, yolks of
6 eggs, 3f cup milk, 1% cups flour, 4
teaspoonful Magic baking powder, 1
teaspoonful of orange extract. Cream
butter and sugar, add well beaten
yolks and beat again with butter and
sugar until very light. Sift flour and
Magic baking powder together and
add to first mixture alternatively with
milk. Beat lightly for about one min-
ute, put into greased layer pans and
bake. Temperature,400 deg. F. Time
about 20 minutes. Put together with
lemon filling and ice with boiled frost-
ing.
Lemon Filling
1 lemon and rind, 1 cup cold water,
1 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1 tablespoonful
flour. Beat lemon rind and egg to-
gether. Stir in lemon juice and sugar.
Dissolve flour in water, Cook in dou-
ble boiler till it jellies and' spread.
(Boiled) Frosting
Dissolve a cup of granulated sugar
in 1/i- cup of hot water. Wasli down
the sugar from the sides of the pan,
cover and let boil three or four min-
utes, uncover and let boil to a rather
firm soft ball stage. Pour in a fine
stream on the whites of 2 eggs, beat-
en dry, beating constantly rneanwhile.
A few maraschino cherries chopped
and added to the frosting gives a de-
licious and pleasing flavor.
ENOUGH
It's not enough that I should love my
play,
It's not enough that I should love my
labour,
My enemy, my friend, my kin, my
neighbor;
It's not enough that I should love my
wife,
Honour my home and keep it free
from strife;
It's not enough to love my God, unless
I make each daily task this love ex-
press.
If I can bathe a wound; can smooth
the rough
Of life; can warm this fire in other
men
By my example—then, and only theu
Is it enough.
—Roger L. Waring, in the Detroit
News.
Pleasant Friendships
Nothing will so much delight the
mind as a faithful and pleasing friend-
ship, How great a good is it when
the hearts are prepared, wherein a
man may safely bury all his secrets,
whose conscience thou fearest less
than thy own, whose words may ter-
rify thy discontents,, whose counsel
can. resolve thy doubts, whose mirth
may dissipate thy sorrow, and. whose
countenance may comfort thee.—Sen-
eca.
Beauty
As a countenance is made beautiful
by the soul's shining through it, so
the world is beautiful by the shining
through it of a God.—Fredrich Hein-
rich Jacobi.
